Blizzard Details the Five Character Classes in Diablo III

The Barbarian is the only class from Blizzard's Diablo II that's returning for Diablo III, which means gamers need to get to know the Wizard, Demon Hunter, Monk, and Witch Doctor. Thankfully, Game Director Jay Wilson himself is here to explain the strengths and weaknesses of all five character classes in Diablo III.

Our friends at IGN managed to pull Wilson away from development long enough to record a Diablo III video series focused on each of the five classes. See Wilson spell things out for you below.

Diablo III is in development for Windows PCs and Mac OS. The game's release date remains TBA, but it is expected in late 2011 or early 2012.

Spy Guy says: Hello Witch Doctor! I hadn't paid too much attention to the class before because it seemed, well, silly. However, seeing the pet-summoning voodoo master in action makes me think it will be a blast to play. What about you? Which Diablo III class will you play as first?
